The combination against High License AT
Albany presents itself now as triple Alliance
the Prohibitionists rum sellers and Democrats
being united as one man to prevent temper
apce legislation and to fasten the curse OF the
saloon in politics upon this city. The Demo-
cratic members from this city are OF course DO
ing what they are instructed to do by the liquor
interest that sent them to the capital. Inc
liquor sellers are looking after tneir
own pockets. AS for the Prohlbltlonls.s
no rational explanation OF their posi-
ton can be found, but beyond question
they are showing the State and country
how little any real concern for the victims OIL
intemperance has to do with their action. Inc
vote in the Assembly on Friday upon the mo-
ton to recommit the High License bill showed
the Republicans with few exceptions on the
side of reform, and all the Democrats against
it. The latter are probably in favor OF nee
rum with little or no disguise. They belong 10
a class which does not understand temperance
and which looks upon the relation OF the 81
loon to public affairs as practical politics, 10
be upheld against the sentimentallty OF inc
"kid- glove" people who prefer churches ana
schools to rum shops.
The Prohibitionists are to-day in the same
boat, striving with all their might to perpetu-
ate the rule of the saloons and to prevent any
restriction of their activity and influence. In
the name of total abstinence these mischicvous
people are in fact doing all the damage they
possibly can to the cause of temperance, and
vet they think it possible to retain the
respect and esteem of the community. Ii Is
melancholy spectacle, but the true friends oil
temperance must realize the interest and force
of the opposition to high license, and must give
the bill all the support that can be brought
to bear. Every Republican member OF the Leg
islature should be made to hear from his con-
stituents on this question. 1t Is clearly from
the Republican party alone that temperance re-
form is to be had. Third partyism has in
this contest thoroughly fulfilled prophecy by
showing itself as the tan of the Democratic
dog, wagged by the rum power. That is the
tendency Of such n movement, and 1t Is
we'll that the demonstration has been made
IIenceforth it will be understood that high
license means business; that the Republican
party is temperance reform party but that
Prohibition signifies here and now substantially
an adjunct to the saloons and defender and
advocate Of unchecked drunkenness.

ENGLAND'S SOIL,
A Country Rich In Valuable and Historical
Underground Relies.

A Country Rich In Valuable and HistoricaI
Underground Relies.
The soil of England does not seem
to be worn out, to judge by the won-
derful verdure and the luxuriance of
vegetation. It contains great museum
of geological specimens, and series of
historical strata which is among the
most instructive of human records. |
do not pretend to much knowledge of
geology. The most interesting geOlOg-
ical objects in our New England that |
can think of are the great boulders and
the scratched and smooth surface of the
rocks; the fossil footprints in the valley
of the Connecticut; the trilobites found
at Quincy. Bat the readers of Hugh
Miller remember what variety of fos-
sis he found in the stratified rocks of
his little island. and the museums are
full of just such objects. When il
comes to underground historical relics.
the poverty of New England as COM
pared with the wealth of Old England
is very striking. Stratum after stratum
carries the explorer through the relics
of successive invaders. After pass
ing through the characteristic
LAYERS of different races, he
comes upon Roman pavement, and
below this the weapons and ornaments
of a tribe of ancient Britons. One can
not strike spade into the earth, in
Great Britain, without a fair chance of
some surprise in the form of Saxon
coin, or a Celtic implement, o. Roman
fibula. Nobody expects any such pleas
ing surprise in New England field.
One must be content with an indian
arrowhead or two, now and then pestle
and mortar. or stone pipe. A top
dressing of antiquity is all he can look
for. The soil is not humanized enough
to be interesting; whereas in England
so much of it has been trodden by hu-
man feet. built on in the form of human
habitations. nay. has been itself part
of preceding generations of human
beings. that it is in a kind of dumb
sympathy with those who tread its turf.
Perhaps it is not literally true that
One-half her soil has walked the rest
In poets, heroes, martyrs. s2Ses;
but so many of all these lie within it
that the whole mother island is campo |
sdnto to all who can claim the same |
blood as that which runs in the veins |
of her unweaned chldren.-OlirerW Wen |
